But, please, let's forget Africa, there was nothing worth influence there.BarKokhba wrote:It's disappointing to read your repetition of the absurd canard that "World Jewry" was, (or is), a "powerful political force...capable to influence politics in many countries..." In the 1930's ???
In the US, it was maybe about 2%, but it was much more in key states like California and New York (with lots of electoral votes). And that was sufficient to make any politician or a presidential candidate weak at the knees.
Felix Frankfurter (a member of Phi Beta Kappa), Walter Lippmann, Horace Kallen graduated from Harvard well before the Great War. And they were the cream of American elites.
Frankfurter was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1939 (although in Poland a Jew was appointed to the Supreme Court earlier and achieved more), was a close adviser and friend of Roosevelt.
More Roosevelt's Jewish friends and advisers: Stephen Wise, Henry Morgenthau, Bernard Baruch, Isaiah Bowman, Samuel Rosenman, James Warburg, Louis Brandeis.
Those people could visit Roosevelt and (other members of his administration), talk informally with him whenever they wished - because they were his friends or close advisers.
How many times were Polish leaders able to talk with Roosevelt? A few. And formally. And they were funny speaking strangers from a land nobody knew anything about anyway.
See the difference?
The American Jewish Congress, the World Jewish Congress were influential, and could influence American politics. Were the "lesser" people like the Poles able to that? No.
Yes there were masses of impoverished Jews in Eastern Europe (living among even more impoverished masses of "natives"), but still the Jews were a large part of the elites, and the middle class. In Poland the lower middle class was mostly Jewish.
The Polish Jews owned a large part of the Polish economy, dominated in show business (lots of first rate stars: actors, singers, writers), the Polish movie industry was owned by Polish Jewish 100% (and actually some say Hollywood was owned by former Polish Jews too).
Of course I don't mention the USSR, there were no Jews or even Russian there. Only a bunch of rootless Stalinists.
And btw, breitbart is rabidly pro-Israel. See some Prager University videos with Israel in the title on youtube. But don't watch the others they might convert you to conservatism
